117-hr-1667, Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act
Supports mental health and resilience for health care professionals.

Grants may last up to three years. - Rural and workforce-shortage areas: Prioritizes health professional shortage areas and rural regions for awards and requires Secretary reports plus a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review within four years to assess program effectiveness and duplication. Authorizes $10 million per year for the education initiative and $35 million per year for mental health programs for 2022–2024, increasing federal spending over that period.
117-hr-1193, Cardiovascular Advances in Research and Opportunities Legacy Act
This law expands federal efforts to increase research, awareness, and prevention of valvular heart diseases. It directs the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services to support research, hold a mitral valve prolapse workshop, fund prevention and awareness projects, and improve public health data on cardiac arrests. - Researchers: The NIH and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute can fund studies using advanced imaging and other methods to learn causes and risk factors. The Institute must convene a workshop within two years to identify research needs and recommendations for mitral valve prolapse, including risks for sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. - Patients and families: HHS can award grants and contracts and provide technical assistance to improve public awareness of symptoms and risk factors. Projects may be prioritized for populations most affected by valvular heart diseases. - Public health and clinicians: The law supports continuing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activities, aims to improve data quality on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, and requires HHS to identify and share best practices for health care providers.

117-hr-8404, Respect for Marriage Act
Nationwide federal recognition of marriages between two individuals. This law repeals the Defense of Marriage Act and creates a federal rule that recognizes valid two-person marriages for federal purposes while preserving religious conscience protections. - Couples and families: Federal agencies must treat a marriage between two people as valid if it was valid where it was entered. The law also bars federal recognition of polygamous marriages. - Religious organizations and providers: The law affirms religious liberty and allows religious organizations and persons to refuse to provide services for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage without creating civil claims. - States, territories, and enforcement: "State" is defined to include the District of Columbia and listed territories like Puerto Rico, and validity is generally based on the law where the marriage was entered. The Attorney General can bring civil actions and individuals harmed by denial of recognition have a private right of action for relief.

Creates 2024 commemorative coins honoring Harriet Tubman.

Designs must feature Tubman on at least one obverse and include standard inscriptions. The Mint will sell coins in uncirculated and proof qualities and set prices that cover face value, a surcharge, and production costs. Surcharges of $35, $10, and $5 go equally to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and The Harriet Tubman Home, Inc. The law requires that issuing these coins not impose any net cost on the U.S. government.
